Process Serving
Court compliant service of summons, subpoenas, evictions and family law papers throughout Sanford and Seminole County, documented under Florida Statutes Chapter 48. See process serving →
First Serve is based right here in Seminole County, so your documents don't wait in an Orlando queue. Our licensed servers cover Sanford and the whole county, historic downtown Sanford, Lake Mary, Longwood, Heathrow, Oviedo and Winter Springs, with same day attempts and every filing routed straight to the Seminole County Criminal Justice Center on Bush Boulevard.
Sanford is the county seat of Seminole County, and nearly every civil, family and criminal filing in the area moves through the Seminole County Criminal Justice Center and the courthouse complex on Bush Boulevard downtown. Because our servers live and work in the county, we know the difference between a lakefront address off Lake Monroe, a gated community in Heathrow, and a townhome tucked behind SR-417 in Oviedo, and we plan attempts accordingly instead of guessing from a map.
We serve summons, subpoenas, evictions and family law papers across historic downtown Sanford, Lake Mary, Longwood, Winter Springs and the rest of Seminole County, usually the same day when documents come in before the afternoon. Every attempt is GPS verified, time stamped and reported back to you, and each completed serve is documented with a court compliant return of service that holds up in Seminole County court.
Being local to Sanford doesn't limit our reach, First Serve offers Florida wide service through our curated professional network. So if your Seminole County case touches a defendant in Orlando, Volusia, Lake or Osceola County, one firm handles the whole thing and keeps every return of service consistent.
